Read the following passages:

Passage 1

It was a foggy day outside of 221B Baker Street. Inside my flat, the air was clear. I was reading by the fire when I heard a knock at the door. When I opened the door, Mrs. Hudson introduced my latest client, Mrs. Blakely. The lady wore a glamorous gown and hat, indicating that she was probably wealthy. Mrs. Blakely's red eyes, wet handkerchief, and frightened expression showed that she was in distress. I smiled and stood at attention, almost smelling a mystery.

Passage 2

A lady in a fine gown and hat stepped out of the carriage and strode up to the door of 221B Baker Street. She sniffled and used a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. Taking a deep breath, she rapped on the door of the world's most famous detective.
